It does happen from time to time - and it's always good fun when it does. I had one about the royal family and racism. About 3 people read it, then I got on with my life - and then about six months later it skyrocketed. No idea why. The problem is, if you're a controversial bird (like I am) you then have to quickly defend your POV on a piece you've utterly forgottne.

Congrats on the sudden spike. The Great Goddess Algorthmia has favoured you this day. May you ever stay in her favour.
